The stats we get for this blog aren't that bad, but somehow we can't seem to get anyone to make any comments. But an article in the Observer, about authors writing glowing reviews of their own books on Amazon, gave us an idea. (Via Kitabkhana.)

Read The Gospel of Supply Side Jesus and much will be clearer to you, my children.

Sigh. As if there weren't enough thieves of time on the net... But now that you're here, go see Addicting Games.com.
